The Deck

This year was the year for refurbishing our six hundred square feet of Cedar deck. It looked in bad shape, as it had not had any love for the last four years. So the twenty-five year old deck was looking real sad. My spouse last week pressure washed it and scrubbed back to the bare wood. The staining began in the mornings and evenings, instructions state not to stain in direct sun light. The project ended up taking a few days. But with two coats of stain the old deck looks real good. Thanks to doing push ups my arms stood the test of rolling and scrubbing in the stain, with a few sore arm muscles. My back did not. But with a good hot bath and a massage from my daughter I feel good.

What did I learn my body would do what it did thirty years ago, but there are a lot more consequences. Another project done. Or was that a goal. Yah!
